The U.S. Federal Government is the largest customer in the world, and obtaining a GSA Contract is the first step to effectively marketing in this competitive space

GSA Contracts benefit companies wishing to sell to the federal government -- as well as federal customers wishing to purchase goods and services -- by simplifying the procurement process and enabling federal customers to make purchases quickly and easily.

 

In obtaining a GSA Schedule Contract, the General Services Administration will conduct a thorough review of a company’s capabilities, past performance, and commercial sales practices. After negotiating discounted rates for government buyers and establishing a GSA Schedule price list, GSA will award a GSA Contract Number. When ordering under a GSA Contract, government buyers are not required to: seek full and open competition, synopsize requirements (unless the buyer is using Recovery Act funds for a purchase of $25,000 or more), or make a determination of fair and reasonable pricing. GSA has essentially completed this work on behalf of government buyers in awarding the GSA Contract.

 

Once awarded, a GSA Contract is valid for an initial five-year period with three five-year extension options. To maintain efficiency and profitability, it is important that a GSA Contract be kept up-to-date with current compliancy regulations, as well as a company’s current pricing and offerings.
